- About Me (Must include at least one paragraph of biographical information about you as a composer) - blank or minimal answers on this line will cause your request to be rejected. Include a link to your website if you have one.
- I can remember being a composer at heart since my earliest memories. Growing up in a very musical environment (my mother was an opera singer and my father a voice teacher), I recall improvising at the piano and imagining fully scored soundtracks in my head in my early childhood. When I was about twelve I developed a love for the piano which quickly sparked my interest in composition, and I haven't looked back since.
I am currently studying composition and music production/technology at the Hartt School of Music. My hobbies include chess, hiking, theatre, and mental exploration. I listen to practically every genre of music, and love art in all of its forms.

My mother was a successful operatic and choral singer who performed extensively in Germany and the United States for a period of about twenty years, and my father was her final…
